Following a recent update, several Elite Dangerous players have reported that their wake scanners have stopped working. One commander confirmed the issue affects all their ships and is seeking to determine if the problem is widespread or isolated. Wake scanners are essential for tracking other ships' recent jumps, so this malfunction could disrupt tactical decisions and situational awareness. The lack of widespread reports suggests this may be an emerging issue not yet fully recognized by the community or developers as of July 4, 2026.
- Issue reported across multiple ships for at least one commander
- No broad confirmation yet, indicating a potentially isolated or early-stage problem
